Abstract

Erosion and the production of sediments effect the siltation of reservoirs and create large environmental problems. This work calculates the volume of sediments caused by erosion in a hydrological basin using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation 2 (USLE–RUSLE2), applying, or not, the sediment delivery ratio, and is compared with the volume of sediments transported using the Lawrence method. The USLE–RUSLE2 method is validated in the study area, the Jerte Valley, using the geographic information systems. The result obtained showed an erosion of 7 Tm/ha year and low risk of siltation, which suggest that the Plasencia reservoir has a long life expectancy.
